cast net size

[mboy]

There are a few guys here that I KNOW cast throw. Young Gull, Luna Sea, and I can throw my small one

I am sure one of the guys here can show ya. I plan on doing a LOT of practicing with my 8' big mesh for adults this year.

When the peanuts are in, I can load you up with more then your baitwell can handle

Yard is only place I have thrown it.

My challenege will be to do it from the bow of a rocking boat in the wind

this isn't easy, especially with a 12' net.  I stand on the bow and throw it over my rails, very difficult.  Joey G threw my next last season and got it stuck on the anchor on the pulpit.  He wasn't all enough to clear the rails.  I tried standing on the rail straddling the pulpit and it is difficult to keep your balance and throw even in the AH marina.

on my new boat I made sure I had striper rails on it ,they dont come up over an inch so I can throw it nice and easy .there is no differance betweeen your yard and the water ,alot of guys I know get what we call bunker fever and mess up the throw but it all in there heads on land they are great when the pod moves w/ in range they screw up

i think its easier throwing it in the water.  On land, unless your standing on a second floor deck, you are throwing it level.  From the rail of a boat,  your giving your net a better chance to open as it drops rather then a level yard.
